Giving Costumes their own Post

So I posted about my love of Fall, but I also can't help but be a proud Mom and share my boys in their Halloween costumes.

Ian, my 4 year old, decided that he was going to be Buzz Lightyear this year. Thank goodness! (We had to talk him into NOT being Clifford the Big Red Dog for the 3rd year in a row.)
Christian, my 1 year old, didn't really have a choice and didn't care what we made him. I found the cutest Frog costume, so that was his this year.Hope you enjoy the pictures!

PS: Christian didn't last long in his costume and the only pictures I have of him in it are from Boo at the Zoo. Ian, on the other hand, would live in his if I let him. (In fact, he wore it to Wal-Mart last night. Oh well...pick your battles! LOL)

I love Fall!!!

Fall is my favorite season of the year. The changing of the leaves, the return to crisp, cool weather and Halloween! Now that I have kids, Halloween is a lot more fun. We have always had the tradition of going to get pumpkins and then carving them as a family. (Which essentially means Shan and I carve the pumpkins, Ian runs around like a wild man continually asking if we are done yet, and Christian trying to to get in the pumpkin when my back is turned and proceeding to melt down in tears when I take him away from it. LOL

Just thought I would share some pictures of my boys and our pumpkins. I just shoot these on my little point and shoot camera since it is faster and easier when I am chasing the boys, but I think it does an okay job.

Enjoy!

Lynsey's Newborn Pictures!

Many of you might remember that I did a Prelude to a Life session for the Deidrick Family back in August. After a bout with illness, I was finally able to do Lynsey's Newborn Pictures! She is such a happy baby! I couldn't believe how smiley she was at only 1 month old! Anyway, enjoy this little cutie!

Congratulations Scott and Alyssa!

Scott and Alyssa were married at Manakiki in Willoughby Hills on October 14th. They had a beautiful ketubah ceremony that was also very emotional. It was followed by a traditional Jewish ceremony under a beautiful chuppah. They were so sweet and wonderful to work with. And Manakiki was a beautiful location.

Congratulations Warren and Christine!

Warren and Christine were married at Zion Lutheran Church in Doylestown on October 13th. We took pictures at Memorial Park in Wadsworth and the reception was at The Eagles in Wadsworth. The weather was beautiful and I couldn't have asked for better people to work with. Christine and Warren were so warm and friendly that I felt like a part of the family. Their family and friends were a blast to be around and I felt very lucky that they chose me to capture their day.

Congratulations Meredith and Anthony!

Meredith and Anthony were married at the Cleveland Yachting Club in Rocky River on October 6th. The wedding was very beautiful and the weather (although unseasonably hot!) was beautiful as well! I also had the privilege of riding with Meredith and her Dad, Al, in a vintage Rolls Royce! (My first ride in a Rolls!)

Congratulations Becky and Matthew!

Becky and Matthew were married on September 22nd at Notre Dame College in Cleveland. In a twist on the traditional bridal march, Matthew serenaded Becky as she came down the aisle. They had their reception at Carrie Cerino's. We had a lot of fun doing soccer pictures and capturing their friends and family on the dance floor at the reception.
